Arches National Park Guided Tours

About Arches National Park Tours
Experience the captivating history and breathtaking beauty of Arches National Park with our professionally guided tours. Soak up insights on short walks and quick drives throughout the park as towering red rock formations, sweeping desert landscapes, and fascinating geological wonders come to life.
Our local guides will take you directly to the park’s most iconic sights. You’ll explore must-see destinations lincluding Balanced Rock, The Windows Area, Double Arch, Delicate Arch Viewpoint, Wolfe Ranch, Sand Dune Arch, and enjoy stunning panoramas of the La Sal Mountains.
Arches National Park was shaped by the powerful forces of ancient oceans, tectonic activity, and erosion, which gave rise to the unique red rock formations the park is famous for—more than 2,000 natural arches and hundreds of fins. The park’s rich history also includes evidence of Native American inhabitants, followed by the arrival of settlers and explorers, adding a layer of cultural depth to the landscape.
The ecology features a diverse desert environment, home to a variety of plants and animals. You’ll encounter desert plants such as prickly pear cactus, Utah juniper, single-leaf ash, and Stansbury’s cliffrose. These resilient plants thrive in the harsh conditions of the desert, each adapted to survive the intense heat and dry conditions.
Wildlife such as mule deer, coyotes, porcupines, desert cottontails, black-tailed jackrabbits, and bighorn sheep roam the area. Birdwatchers will spot species like Pinyon jays, scrub jays, and juniper titmice. The soil, rich with cryptobiotic life, supports the delicate balance of this desert ecosystem.
Whether you’re an early riser eager to catch the best morning light or prefer to watch the desert glow at sunset, we offer two daily departure times to make the most of your time in this otherworldly landscape. Each tour lasts approximately four hours from meet-up to return. The morning tour meets at our office location in Moab at 8:00 AM, and the afternoon tour meets at 3:00 PM.

Our Client Reviews from Google
Robert Sharp2025-07-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rafting was great for first timers. Dillon was awesome working and helping Tim that was visually impaired. Great job and I highly recommend there service. Ron Howard2025-07-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. During our family of four 40-day adventure we spent four nights in Durango, Colorado. My 12 and 13 year old daughters had never been rafting so the Lower Animas Rafting 3/4 day adventure was the perfect choice. Steven was our guide and was the best! He ensured we were prepared before stepping into the raft. Safety, technique, and fun were the agenda for the day. While the river was lower than normal it was fun navigating different ways to get past the many rocks. It was also nice that Steven suggested we grab some trash that washed was stuck in river debris. Tyler was another guide helping kayakers we traveled with and was really nice. It was fun interacting and enjoying the perfect day together. I recommend the 3/4 day which includes lunch and more time on the river. There was plenty of time to jump for a swim and we even surfed one of the rapids. Eric Steinberg2025-07-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All the folks at Mild to Wild are great and clearly love what they do. It’s like rafting with friends. My son, his friend and I had a great time! A special shout out to our guide Ryan who was outstanding and a ton of fun. Michael Barber2025-07-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a fantastic raft ride with Mild to Wild’s guide Toby. He was funny, informative and clearly very skilled at his job. We did a “Mild” ride but he still managed to take us on a class 2/3 rapid for a little wild and talked us through perfectly . 10/10 would definitely recommend Adam Kane2025-07-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did a 3/4 day rafting trip, and had a FANTASTIC time! Our guide was Stephen, and he was AWESOME! Really professional on the water, and worked with us early on to work as a team on the water. The rapids were a blast, and the lunchtime stop was refreshing with some local sandwiches. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Ronny Robinson2025-07-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam is a great guide! We did the 1/2 day raft, and it was great! Toby was a guide in another raft, and they had good comradery going down the river together! Great time! Jacob Finseth2025-07-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Fantastic time on the River with Toby as our guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, concerned about safety and clear instructions. Great time! Thank you Toby! Mel Garofalo2025-07-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I booked a half day tour of Arches NP with Mild to Wild while staying in Moab. Due to the high temperatures and our age, we were not looking for strenuous hiking so we booked a guided tour on an air conditioned 15 passenger van. It turned out we were the only two who had booked this tour so we essentially had a private tour with Darren, our driver and guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, interesting to talk to and overall provided a great 4.5 hour experience. We stopped frequently, sometimes for short hikes, others for pictures. He left it up to us as to how much hiking we did. Besides doing Arches tours Darren does river raft trips and jeep tours as well. Highly recommend him and his company.
